Loading ...What is the best Mainstream GPU in the market?
Not surprisingly, the most asked question I get from end users is “What do you think is the best mainstream GPU to buy”? This is the place where that question gets answered…
Now, I am not going to start this blog off with “It’s not because I work at AMD that I say nice things about the product” or “Really, this is what I believe even though I work at AMD” or the best one I have seen is “This is my REAL personal opinion and not because I work at AMD”. I am not even going to give you a personal opinion, even though it would be honest, and not influenced by the fact I work at AMD, but even still, I am writing this blog 100% IAN OPINION FREE!!!
[Take it while you can get it because it won't happen often]
Here goes:
“ATI pulled a real coup with the 4600 series by releasing a GPU essentially as powerful as its previous high-end champion…” Don Woligroski of Tom’s Hardware Guide
“For the people who need a card that fits this niche and price point, the 4670 is the card to pick up.” Derek Wilson of Anandtech
“Gamers have honestly never had it so good… AMD has again pulled the rabbit from its hat with the HD 4670. NVIDIA is again scrambling to react…” Josh Walrath of PC Perspective
“The ATI Radeon HD 4670 proved to be an excellent performer, especially considering its low-power operation and affordable price.” Marco Chiappetta of HotHardware.com
“…I just don’t see the need to skimp on a card when the HD 4650 can entertain by day and still game the night away. Hard to believe we used to pay $300 for this kind of performance.” Scott and Darren of cluboverclocker.com
“If you are casual gamer, an HTPC user, or even looking to upgrade your existing system, this card is a pretty sweet card.” Sheldog23 on modder-inc.com
…and my personal favourite quote to sum it all up:
“…the HD 4670 doesn’t compete against the budget Nvidia card, it smashes the 9500 GT’s teeth in and then knees it in the nuts for good measure.” Michael “SKYMTL” Hoenig of Hardware Canucks.com
If you are looking for superior mainstream entertainment, both gaming and multimedia, the ATI Radeon™ HD 4600 Series is the reviewers top choice.
Cheers!
